Lyrics
o Tell him about me
Tell him the story
My eyes have known the meaning of sleep
Since the day he left
Tell him my soul
Has left my inner soul
For he is my child
That I will sacrifice my soul for
And the night is endless
As if it keeps going
And the pain of longing to him
Makes it feel like the morning will never come
Its all because I have no one to look after me
I suffer in this world
Because I have no one to look after me
Tell him that night in exile
are endless and hard
And that I will light endless candles
If I only know how to reach him
Tell him I long
To run and hold him
And cover my hands with soil under his feet
(oh my beloved country) how I wish I can breathe you in
But the night keeps going on
The night is endless
And the pain of longing to him
Makes it feel like the morning will never come
Its all because I have no one to look after me
I suffer in this world
Because I have no one to look after me
Oh Mother .. if you only know
Tell him there is no one like him
That dark man .. that handsome man
And he deserves to be crowned
With Yas (Old Iraqi shrubs) and Anbar (Iraqi flowers)
But the night keeps going on
The night is endless
And the pain of longing to him
Makes it feel like the morning will never come
Its all because I have no one to look after me
I suffer in this world
Because I have no one to look after me
